Bennett inspection questions

How soon can you inspect a home in Bennett?

Usually within 3 to 4 days. Bennett is past 40 miles, so a trip fee is quoted before booking.

Do you inspect wells and septic?

Justin inspects the visible well equipment and flags septic concerns, and tells you which licensed contractor tests and certifies the system itself.

What water tests will my lender want?

Most lenders ask for bacteria and nitrate testing on a private well. Justin collects samples as an add-on.

Are outbuildings included?

Barns, shops and well houses are inspected where they are safely accessible, and noted in the report.

Is wind damage different from hail damage?

Yes. Wind lifts and breaks seals along edges; hail bruises the mat. Justin documents both separately.
